Maine veterans deserve timely, quality care — done in a safe and professional environment. Cutting police positions at Togus and chalking it up to bureaucracy is wrong. I will continue pushing to ensure our vets receive the care and support they earned. https://t.co/rcsVwgGdfo
In addition to saving and improving lives in Africa, USAID also helped to prevent violent extremism from expanding across the globe. Financial cuts to America’s “soft” power lead to increased terrorist activity—putting Americans in danger at home and abroad. https://t.co/KQBkB1TSkm
Budgets reflect policy priorities. It makes no sense to cut U.S. Forest Service operations & research while spending nearly the same amount on a presidential ballroom. Today, I told the USFS Director there is no justification for such a cut to caring for our nation’s forests. https://t.co/uXoYCBThgv
Modern infrastructure is essential to protect Maine community health & safeguard our natural resources. It was great to join the Freeport Sewer District as they broke ground on a major upgrade to improve wastewater treatment capacity for years to come. https://t.co/9r2kHnNlSq
If “energy dominance” means $4.30/gallon for gas and nearly $6/gallon for diesel, we need a new definition. Or at least a different approach. If we want better stability in our energy supply, America should add lower cost options like wind and solar. https://t.co/z03Pfltj9y
Today’s Armed Services Committee hearing with Defense Secretary Hegseth is very important – and overdue. Before it began, I shared a range of things I'm looking to hear about with @KateBolduan and @NewsCentralCNN. https://t.co/ORFIJ67dxN
On this episode of Civics in 60, @HC_Richardson and I discuss King Charles III’s visit to Congress this week and his reminder of the Magna Carta’s influence on self-government, individual liberty, and the rule of law. https://t.co/0SN9Qu3Jiz
Last week, I was proud to visit @MidCoastHunger with @RepMcGovern to see the vital work they’re doing to ensure Maine families have access to healthy food. Their work, along with the countless Maine people who help others, strengthens our state and communities every day. https://t.co/tMUkTV74Rc
The Second Continental Congress founded the US Postal Service to deliver the mail, period—not to be an arm of the government & definitely not an arbiter of federal elections. My colleagues & I are reminding the Postmaster General of its essential role. https://t.co/0XgFIEAWHb
As energy costs continue to rise, this administration is canceling previously approved and vetted power projects. That’s not only bad for household budgets, but also, it’s incredibly difficult for energy companies that follow the rules and want to improve energy affordability. https://t.co/lLrJGupSEI
